Over the last year, through a multi-city event called, “Our Penn: Let the Conversations Begin,” President Gutmann and Penn undergraduates have held live conversations on stage that illustrate Penn today and the vision of Penn Compact 2020 in action.

"The Power of Penn is embodied in the faculty, researchers and students who think creatively and work collaboratively to tackle the most pressing challenges of our time. By strengthening our commitment to inclusion, innovation and impact, we will make our communities and world stronger. Join us—together we are The Power of Penn."
—Amy Gutmann, President of the University of Pennsylvania

“Our commitment to global engagement is essential to what I call ‘educational diplomacy,’” said President Amy Gutmann. “We are bringing Penn to the world and the world to Penn. And in doing so, we are building stronger cross-cultural connections, deeper relationships and mutual understanding within the global community.”

Awarded annually, the President’s Engagement and Innovation Prizes provide $100,000 in funding for Penn seniors to design and undertake post-graduation projects that make a positive, lasting difference in the world.

Penn Global collaborates with Schools and Center across the University and seeks to catalyze cross-school collaborations to integrate knowledge that addresses key issues. We partner with leaders from Penn and around the world to develop innovative interdisciplinary global strategies, initiatives and programs.
